At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire and one of a growing number of teenagers who have made their fortune through the Internet. What makes Ben's story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was told by teachers at his junior school that he would never be able to read or write properly. "I wanted to prove them wrong", says Ben, creator and director of Way search, a net search engine which can be used to find goods for online shopping malls. When he was eight, his local authorities provided him with a PC to help with schoolwork. Although he was unable to read the manuals, he had a natural affinity with the computer, and encouraged by his father, he soon began charging people E10 an hour for his knowledge and skills. At the age of 15 he set up his own computer consultancy, Quad Computer, which he ran from his bedroom, two years later he left school to devote all his time to business. "By this time the company had grown and I needed to take on a couple of employees to help me," says Ben. “That enabled me to start doing business with bigger companies.” It was his ability to consistently overcome difficult challenges that led him to win the Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in the same year that he formed Way search, and he has recently signed a deal worth £25 million with a private investment company, which will finance his search engine.
